Well depends on the programming language they use. D&D uses classes and that’s a big no no for some.
To be fair, it wasn’t a programmer that got me into D&D… he worked for the QA department.
not true at all! I play Magic, not D&D
What? No, I haven’t played since a few sessions decades ago!
GURPS, on the other hand… Along with Ironsworn, maybe a little Savage Worlds…
Stop, stop, you’ve already proven their point
Ironsworn is sick
Geeks are a race now?
We prefer the term “species” nowadays.
"Dungeons and Dragons OR D&D? What does D&D stand for if not Dungeons and Dragons?
Some acronyms have many definitions, like CBT.
Ah, I guess this is why I prefer other ttrpgs.
I have never been so fairly and accurately insulted! Shame on you!
I guess I’m not a real nerd after all
Did not know that I was from the Caucasian race AND te Geek race!
I’d want to try out D&&D but I can’t seem to find any group nearby
there’s actually great resources for getting started online. There’s a site called start playing games dedicated to matching new people to a DM. Note that services like that cost money. There’s also the virtual tabletop roll20 which has a group finder for you to find a game. It will have a mix of free and paid games. Alternatively, you can crowdsource that such as on r/lfg on reddit (unfortunately the LFGs here on lemmy don’t seem to be active enough to find games), or through various discord servers, including the official D&D discord. Another that has reasonably active LFG type sections to try is the Fantasy grounds (another VTT) discord.
For in person play, you can also look in to local gaming stores that might run adventurer’s league, which is the sort of ‘official’ play wizards of the coast sanctions at local stores and at conventions.
